Question

Is having access to a safe and clean park equipped with bicycle and running trails effective for promoting regular exercise?

Answer 1

It is a necessary condition but not a sufficient one . For the promotion of regular exercise people must be aware of the advantages of exercising and the dangers associated with not keeping the body fit and and healthy.

Usually people have different opportunity cost of time and this is the reason why they do not commit to a regular exercise even when they have money and they can afford a gym.

if there is an access of clean and safe Park with bicycle it will not be effective unless people consider the opportunity cost of not maintaining health being higher than the opportunity cost of the time. This can be done only by making them aware of their health and the fatalities that are likely to be occurred if they do not keep their body fit and healthy.
